Spare Part Grants for Research Equipment (SPG)

To ensure Sri Lanka remains competitive in global science and technology research, it is crucial to establish laboratories with modern infrastructure. This initiative aims to support universities and R&D institutions by providing funds for the purchase of necessary spare parts for the repair and maintenance of research equipment. By addressing equipment maintenance needs, this scheme facilitates uninterrupted research and experimental development, ultimately contributing to the socio-economic development of Sri Lanka.
